How to access work queue via code stage in Blue Prism?

Question

Is it possible to handle the work queue that drives a production server via CodeStage and input processes as arguments to the code stage?

I am wondering if it is possible to minimize the copying of the whole work queue logic into each new project and instead handle work assignment to robots inside a Code Stage.

You might be able to leverage Work Queue tagging and Active Queue functionality to achieve what you're going for here. For instance, if a particular work item must be worked by a particular robot, tagging it with that instances' hostname and then using a tag filter on your Get Next Item stage within your process to only grab items for that particular Runtime Resource component. If the Work Item must be worked by a different Blue Prism Process entirely, you may consider utilizing a multi-queue strategy or adding more tags to further differentiate each Work Item
